Guild Wars 2

I have a question i want answered.

Does more toughness mean more aggro?
Cuz, i am a ranger (spoilers) and one i know is a ele. I have most toughness, but they target her.

How can that be?

Yes and no, it depends on the encounter/creature type

Aggro is determined by multiple factors.

I main a full Knight Necro (maxed Toughness), I do meta events, fractals, dungeons and I don’t get targeted more often than other people.

Too variable to tell. Back when I was just starting at launch my ranger was rare knight’s armor and then on top of that I traited for high vitality. With the combination of rare armor, toughness and high vitality I was an agro magnet beyond compare. Lol. All I had to do was show up and champs in Orr being attacked by groups of people would stop fighting them and run to me and try to kill me.

There are encounters where toughness is the only determinant of aggro, e.g. some of the raid bosses. It’s more variable elsewhere.

Aggro is pretty much a shot in the dark, most times. Hit it first? Probably got aggro for life.

I’d aggro you if you hit me too :P

Pal, my Herald runs Sentinel/Soldier gear, sword/shield and staff or hammer. Everything in the vicinity will attack me, even if I’m not fighting them. Doing chest runs in SW and someone aggro’d a random critter and led it to the pile of people trying to open a chest? It’ll immediately start fighting me. Something is fighting someone and I happen to run past? It’s attacking me now.

I’ve got aggro 24/7. Even if I’m not in the same map.

Seems to be just random. Though sometimes it seems like certain enemies really hate me in fractals as ele (berserker) focusing me for like 90% of the time.

Except for raid bosses who have their own rules.

They hate you most cos you’re the one laying the most smack down.

Sorry, but I main an Ele. With not optimal DPS using Berserker stats plus some condi rings and low toughness. And if I am in a group with me as the only Ele. I get targetted ALOT. The boss or enemies will make a bee line for me, even if I am in the back, the just run past the players in front of me.
